The 2026 Poughkeepsie Rumble at the MJN Center was a night of shocking surprises and announcements- including ACW Champion Matt Cardona kicking off the show with a shocking announcement- that he was vacating the coveted ACW World Heavyweight Championship!
Cue to later that evening, where the Poughkeepsie Rumble battle royal-style match would now crown a new ACW champion! And after a grueling, unforgettable match- and thanks in part to a shocking assist from “Big Trouble” Ben Bishop– ACW Star “Most Marketable” Richard Holliday in the end got the pinfall on Dante Casanova to reclaim the coveted championship.
Holliday was then interrupted in the middle of his victory speech by a shocking appearance by the enigma known around the world as KILLER KROSS– who shared his childhood roots connecting him to the MJN Center, congratulated Richard Holliday on his win, and then challenged him for the title in the main event at ACW’s next event- AFTERSHOCK on March 14th!
Not to be outdone, the war of words expanded as NY’s own Mike Santana, fresh off of a win giving him number one contender status for the ACW Championship against Nic Nemeth earlier in the night, came out and transformed the main event into a massive three-way dance for the championship- as it would now be HOLLIDAY vs KROSS vs SANTANA at Aftershock!
This story about poughkeepsie rumble winner Richard Holliday, Ben Bishop and Matt Cardona is currently developing and we will report details as soon as we have them!
